Hello, we will see. We attempted to edit a one-minute clip with proreis from an Atomos Ninja Inferno recorder. There are a problem.

After a save, and the reopening of the project, we find colors completely crazy. Violent blue, saturated red, 100% black on all clips that have been delicately adjusted. The Gain it's not correct. See capture.

Hi,I'm new here and tried to install DaVinci Resolve 14 on Ubuntu 17.04.I tried it first by my own and used then the script to make a deb file.If I start DaVinci Resolve on my intel gpu it shows the welcome dialoge but is closed after that.

I have an Asus UX303UB with a nvidia 940m. I'm using the nvidia driver 378.

We used the Ubuntu guide by AndréRodrigues (thanks to him). I converted the syntax to Mint, otherwise is very similar.

1- Install this lib:

[/condensed]15.- Search for 'Driver Manager' in the Mint menu. Open it and change to the recommended NVIDIA driver. Apply. Mint replaces Nouveau driver in the background.

The driver is installed! Now last steps:

16.- Terminal: sudo apt install libpng12-0

17.- Terminal: sudo apt install ocl-icd-opencl-dev

18.- Desktop - New Launcher. For Resolve, browse to /opt/resolve/bin/resolve. For the icon, browse to /opt/resolve/graphics/.

19.- Reboot

THAT'S IT! You a ready to run the Resolve 14!

Rick Emerson, you need OpenCL development files. Is a step in Mint installation, which I added.

Try

17.- Terminal: sudo apt install ocl-icd-opencl-dev

Great thanks for your effort. Great thanks for the added OpenCL suggestion. I did a cut&paste on everything except the Nvidia drivers. OK, I used emacs in place of gedit - ya got me there. NTL... Same song-different day.

I wiped my 16.04.3 installation to clean up what was becoming too many packages installed. There were clear sings of conflict. I then followed Sulo Kokki's advice (thank you very much!!) and still didn't anything working. Ultimately, I found my way to AMDGPU-PRO drivers on the ATI site, installed them, and Resolve now reliably gets me to the project page. While I don't get beyond that point, I got a warning message about no OpenCL GPU found. While OpenCL works under 12.5, I assume that under 14 the situation is different, and my GPU is just not capable of working under 14.

What lower end Radeon card is a reasonable choice to work in HD?

Having stumbled upon the truth, he continued on as if nothing had happened.

Most of the time I do not get any audio and video out of the decklink card. When I get some, its extremely noisy, crackly and not usable.

@Dwaine Maggart: Can you please tell us what settings are needed to get Decklink video and audio output working on Linux. Like what setting do I have to make in DaVinci under DaVinci Resolve/Preferences... , what settings in File/Project Settings... and what in the Blackmagic Desktop Video Setup. Would be really helpful since it drives me crazy....

@John Morris: Studio Version has more video codecs, but does not support .mp3 as well..

Hi.

I updated on centos in version 14.01. and the problem is always present. If I adjust the colors of my clips, and I leave the project then the gain is not recorded correctly. This one falls completely as in the capture screen above after re-opening of the program. Ave you solution?

It is still a huge problem for a so-called stable version. We have about twenty posts to equip for training video. But I have the impression that the training products will remain for a long time forgotten.

Would there be solutions to work around the problem? With luts for example? Or what would be the same problem of order when saving?

Laptop: Asus UX303U i5-6200U@2.30GHz Video: Hybrid graphics Intel 6th Gen Skylake integrated + Nvidia GM108M GeForce 940M.My main object here is to run Resolve with Intel integrated graphics, because I want to run it on several modern linux ultra-books with Intel integrated graphics only. (Yes I know Resolve is hardware exacting, but I NEED it on Intel integrated video laptops to be running on). Also, there is Intel post which states Resolve 12.5 was already working with Intel integrated video - intel. com /content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/hd-graphics/blackmagic-design-davinci-resolve-video.html . In my setup I do not use Nvidia CPU, and I work in Intel mode. However Nvidia driver package is installed on my system.

I had the same problem as already described here and started to strace resolve process.Here is what is going on after Resolve started (the most important things before crash):

What exactly ICD file is you can find here - khronos. org /registry/OpenCL/extensions/khr/cl_khr_icd.txtIn short - this is a shared library which should be loaded for OpenCL to function properly. According to OpenCL specifications from Khronos group, the ICD Loader looks for files into /etc/OpenCL/vendors/ directory and, for each file whose name ends with .icd, the ICD Loader loads with dlopen(3) the shared library whose name is on the first line of the .icd file.

My /etc/OpenCL/vendors/ directory contained nvidia.icd only because of already installed nvidia driver package. So it is clear I should get an Intel ICD to proceed. I have been used this short tutorial - askubuntu. com /questions/850281/opencl-on-ubuntu-16-04-intel-sandy-bridge-cpu . Keep in mind that opencl-1.2-intel-cpu_6.4.0.25-2_amd64.deb package is being installed in local folder you are running install from. So you need to manually copy it's contents in /opt/intel directry:

I've concluded that V14 is simply not going to work with my Linux machine. The needed card (e.g., GTX 780M w/ 4G) needs a 600W power supply, among other things. Ultimately, I'd have to build a full-on editing machine. Fine if I were hoping to make money with the machine. I'm doing free YouTube videos in HD; buying a machine to run V14 is out of the question. OK, let's try 12.5 for Linux. If it exists, I can't find it.

Where can I d/l the Linux version of V12.5?

Having stumbled upon the truth, he continued on as if nothing had happened.

I gave up on the old GPU and installed a GTX 1050 TI (and a new power supply and clobbered an HDD SATA connector - boo hoo). The driver is the current rev. 384.90 or some number close to that. 12.5.6 works like a charm.

Feeling brave and bold, I went to 14.0.1 and... fail. The problem is fairly simple:

The fix is not so simple. I'm running Ubuntu 17.10; libpng12 has been replaced by libpng16, which is installed. I could create a symbolic link to "rename" libpng16 but I suspect that [sets off a chain off problems]. How do I convince 14.0.1 to use libpng16?

I had [a] vague (obviously now not so vague) recollection that 12.5.6 doesn't handle .mov or .mp4. I guess the work-around is to transcode to an accepted codec, do the project, and transcode the other way. Sigh...

I did some research on libpng and, quite simply, libpng12 isn't available even as an obsolete or depreciated version. At least not in the Ubuntu 17.nn universe.

Having stumbled upon the truth, he continued on as if nothing had happened.

Ubuntu seems to be intent on severing its connections with Debian. Mixing Deb and Ubuntu libraries is probably going to be a little problematic.

Right now I have 16.0.4.3 LTS on the Linux machine (getting quite good at changing packages at this point...) and libpng-12 is present. I haven't tried 14.0.1 yet, but I'll get moving on this very shortly.

Ubuntu 16.nn is the current "if you want stability, this is it" version (although going from 16.0.4 to 16.0.4.3 required a fresh install - what's that all about?!?). 17.nn is the cutting edge of Ubuntu, and a demo of what's coming. Some changes are rev. changes such as the libpng issue, some are major (Unity GUI is replaced by Gnome).

Having stumbled upon the truth, he continued on as if nothing had happened.

After going through the needed steps to make libraries available (create a number symbolic links), installing 14.0.1, adding OpenCL (even though the GPU is an Nvidia GTX 1050 TI), and updating the Nvidia driver to 384.90, Resolve is simply unstable and crashes after a few minutes.

I know this is necro-posting. NTL I don't think some of the questions were fully answered.

I have the latest version of Ubuntu installed and I <think> I have the Light version of Resolve 14 installed using that script someone kindly provided.It won't run. When I click on the icon it pulses for about 10 sec and then stops pulsing but nothing else happens.

The best way to see if anything meaningful (with 12.5 or 14) is happening is to open a terminal window (right click in empty desktop space) and type

The command nvidia-settings produces a small gui called NVIDIA X Server Settings plus in the terminal it gives an error:"nvidia-settings could not find the registry key file blah blah blah"Two questions:1) Do I have the right nvidia driver installed? If not where can I get it.

Follow this article for a very good how-to. Ignore the Anonymous/Guy Fawks mask ad - it's safe (no malware) and you don't need it. The current driver rev. is 384.90 - replace nvidia-370 with nvidia-384.

Ubuntu has officially released 17.10 AKA "artful aardvark". M previous tests with 17.10 and Resolve 14.0.1 were using the 17.10 release candidate.

I did a fresh, HDD erased, install of Ubuntu 17.10 followed by installing Nvidia driver 384.90 (and rebooting), the patch to satisfy the lib64 issue, and patch to install OpenCL support. I rebooted again and installed 14.0.1 - no problematic errors were reported. The result is an immediate "abend":

I installed davinci resolve on linux mint, I followed the installation instructions in the linux installation instructions pdf, everything worked except when I installed the nvidea driver they said I had to, (& restarted) mint would crash then switch to software rendering mode, which is slower. how can I stop it from switching to software rendering mode? Also the nvidea settings/monitor did not work.Is there a better to install it? Or make it faster?Thanks.AIDayleyPsMaking a list of posts I should read would be great.

Having gone back to 6.0.4.3, I found, interestingly, libpng12 and libpng16 are available (via Synaptic Package Mgr), although libpng12 is installed. Under 17.10, Synaptic Pkg Mgr didn't show libpng12 at all - not even depreciated.

AlDayley,

You should always let Mint take care of the Nvidia / Nouveau (software) drivers. It knows how and saves you trouble.

Explained, line by line:Remove any existing Nvidia drivers - no effect on the open-source nouveau driversAdd the graphic-drivers repository - this is where the new drivers come fromUpdate things to include the repository informationInstall the Nvidia drivers - NNN is the "latest and greatest" Nvidia version number. This number can be found on the Nvidia website, or the graphics-drivers website. As of Oct.17, it's 384.90. Enter 384 - do not include the .90! "sudo apt-get install nvidia-394" Yes, this can allow installing earlier versions, too.A reboot is required. Until it's done, the nouveau drivers are still in effect. Rebooting will install the newly acquired nvidia drivers.lsmod "pipe" grep nvidia lists all of the kernel modules and pipes them to the grep tool, which shows only modules with nvidia in the name. The pipe symbol is a vertical line and not an I or l. If lsmod|grep nividia doesn't return nvidia in the list, or returns nouveau instead, probably there was an error in entering the steps above. Cut&paste is your friend. It's CTL-C to copy out of a browser, and SHIFT+CTL-V to paste into a terminal window.

Understand that "sudo" temporarily allows an type-in to be handled as a type-in by superuser (who can do anything). Spelling errors while su can lead to unforeseen, and possibly catastrophic, results. Spelling counts!! If you're not comfortable with sudo - don't do it!

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. Why not use something like Flatpak (or AppImage, Snaps, etc) to distribute Resolve?With Flatpak for example, you can assure everyone is on the same page as all its apps work in a "containerized" way.

Yes! this Software is amazing. Running on Arch Linux like a charm. Though No Audio.I can see the waveforms bouncing up and down. Tried .wav and .mov. See the waveforms no audio.I have tried built in Intel Audio and Echo-Audio Mono Card.Both have system audio working and No Davinci Resolve Audio.

Gallery image wipe being black is normally because you are not actually storing the still images that are used for the wipe. By default, stills are stored in the first path defined in the Scratch Disk list in Resolve Preferences / Media Storage. If this is not a valid path that Resolve can write to, then the still images won't be saved, and you won't be able to wipe to them. Or, if it's a project you've worked on previously, and the path where the stills were stored is no longer present, you will see black.

This is strange, because the Scratch Disk is OK - stills can be captured, exported and applied for grades.

I recently installed Ubuntu 17.10... Pretty neat OS. And my next task was to install Resolve.I manage to install the dependencies. The only thing it complained about was the libpng12 thats not included in ubuntu 17.10.

I compiled it and installed it in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/(See attached file if you want the compiled version)

Now. I get a crash after the intro-screen.

Seems that there is some rendering issue, I run this on a Ultrabook with integrated intel HD 520 GPU.

Since everyone is telling that audio is working nice after installing a Decklink card, I am sure you can share my some settings, it drives me crazy, testing a working combination since hours....Thanks for any help guys!

Edit:It seems that everywhere must be exact the same setting, then you have to make a reboot, and then open the project again, this way it works without cracks and noise. When changing the settings on a existing project, it does not work at all.

I'm still looking for the issue with the gradings not properly saved, problem described here : viewtopic.php?f=21&t=56878&start=600#p367004.So I took some time today to perform a fresh install (BMD centos ISO) with last version of resolve.

I think I found something interesting : when I set my gnome session to use French format (gnome configuration panel > region & language > formats) the grades doesn't save, when I set this parameter to English it works...
